According to Merriam-Webster's dictionary, a suburb is "a smaller community adjacent to or within commuting distance of a city." Based on that definition, Choctaw, Oklahoma is textbook suburbia, but up close, it’s so much more than that. It's only a few miles from the bustle of Oklahoma City. But with wide, open spaces and a small-town feel, Choctaw seems like a world away. "Choctaw is a great community. It has a country feel with trees and acreage, but it's convenient," says Shane Willard, a Realtor with Century 21 Goodyear Green who has over 13 years of experience. "It's only around 15 minutes from downtown OKC and only 5 to 10 minutes from Tinker Air Force Base. It's a very in-demand area."

The residential pockets of Choctaw
Choctaw has a mix of house styles, from 1970s ranch styles to modern farmhouses, but Traditional style homes, built from the 1980s to the current day, are the most common. Choctaw homes are located in residential pockets connected by elm tree-lined scenic roads and, for the most part, are home to long driveways and neat front yards. "It's spread out with big acre lots," Willard says. "People like to have their space, and many of them move to Choctaw for the acreage and the schools." With ample variation in house size and growing demand, list prices average around $300,000, but they can range from $120,000 for a three-bedroom home to over $550,000 depending on the size and condition of the home and the amount of land on the property.

Westfall Elementary, which have both earned an A-minus from Niche. Older students can attend Choctaw Middle which has earned a B from Niche, before heading to the highly regarded Choctaw High School. "Choctaw High School is probably at the top of their class when it comes to football and all the other sports in their athletic program," says Willard. The high school has also received a B-minus from Niche and has the Ticket to Rose Scholarship, where all graduating students can receive a scholarship to the nearby Rose State College.

Residents living near the tracks are within earshot of passing trains, which can be a disturbance to some.
